Description Robert Bost 2016-12-08 19:05:03 UTC 
Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_Web_Server/2.1/html-single/2.1.1_Release_Notes/index.html#Set_OPENSSL_CONF_and_LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Section Number and Name: Section 1.4

Describe the issue: OPENSSL_CONF is not needed when running httpd. OPENSSL_CONF 

Suggestions for improvement: Specify that OPENSSL_CONF is only useful when usingt the openssl binary. 

Additional information: 
It may be that httpd/mod_ssl are coded to handle OPENSSL_CONF, it is just that they were not compiled with that support. The EWS engineering team would need to clarify this.
Comment 1 Robert Bost 2016-12-09 14:21:51 UTC 
The docs also may need to mention that OPENSSL_ENGINE environment variable needs to be set if user wants to use an alternative SSLCryptoEngine in mod_ssl.
Comment 2 Robert Bost 2016-12-09 14:22:39 UTC 
Typo in my last comment. I meant OPENSSL_ENGINES (note the S)
